Cardiff Man Jailed After Fleeing Police with Cocaine Stash

A St Fagans man has been sentenced to more than three years in prison after being caught with cocaine and cash during a police operation in Cardiff. 🚔

Tyrese Tulloch, 25, was spotted by response officers as he leaned into the window of a white car while on his push bike at the junction of Blwch Road, Fairwater, on Wednesday, February 5.

When Tulloch noticed the police vehicle, he immediately cycled away down Cartwright Lane, ignoring officers’ commands to stop. After abandoning his bicycle, he attempted to flee on foot but was arrested in The Crescent following a brief chase.

Officers discovered Tulloch in possession of bags of cocaine, £1,675 in cash, weighing scales, and a mobile phone described as a ‘drugs line’.

Tulloch pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply Class-A drugs and possession of criminal property.

At Cardiff Crown Court on Friday, March 7, he was sentenced to 40 months imprisonment. ⚖️
